We had our tour with Chris the Canadian guy ( there is another Chris not to be confused ) he is an amazing story teller. We had so much fun and learn a lot of interesting facts about Berlin that we couldn’t have learnt in the classic tours. Definitely recommend it ! Thank you christofore 😘

We had a very informative and relaxed city tour with the Canadian Chris. His enthusiasm for Berlin is infectious. He takes an interest in the group and leaves no questions unanswered. Although I’ve been to Berlin a dozen times, I learned a lot on the “Alternative Berlin” tour.

JR’s passions for art and for the neighbourhoods that are authentic (not gentrified) was infectious and made me want to come back to Berlin sooner than later to explore more of the cool stuff that is there but not in the guide books. It was a really fun few hours with him and his stories and context were great and appreciated. Highly recommend!
